and the same to you, Helena. 🙂 > [@](#): > > I’d describe Shodan’s “Regards” as a form of low-level trolling—maybe “trolly” is the right adjective. it’s an excellent word, I salute you. He’s Trolly McTrollerson some days. of course, most days I don’t care at all, his words are just a sound like somebody stepped on a duck. :rolleyes: _whispers_ this is kind of a low-level pitting 😉 ---

“Regards” only makes sense if you know you are posting for the last time in a given thread. But to end _every_ post with “regards” in an ongoing conversation is like ending every sentence with “good bye”. It is super annoying. ---

He can always claim it’s a friendly, cordial closing and nobody can prove otherwise! Never mind that it usually follows some snark directed at teh stoopid libruls. ---
